Fazbear's Fright Attraction(Fnaf 3 plus) Review


Fnaf 3 Plus by: Lostpawplay

In this review, I'll be talking about my thoughts on the game as a whole but the main focus is on the gameplay.

This is a random thing I thought of doing and may continue if you guys like it.

Warning: This is just my opinion


Graphics:

the graphics are pretty good for the most part, unfortunately, that seems to be the focus more on that later

the style of the game is pretty nice tho some may prefer the charm of the original I find the game to look clean and the UI is pretty slick, it's also 1080p which you don't see often

The main menu is simple but looks nice

It's weird how the extras are unlocked from the start, but whatever.

The office looks really good It's pretty close to the original but more detailed like having particles and flickering lights also less green lighting

The cameras are a mixed bag

some of them are pretty good recreations of the original

Others barely have any effort put into them

cam2.png

And some are just fnaf 3 renders but edited with the camera lens being damaged

The jumpscares also got an improvement all of them are faster and Springtrap doesn't look like he's happy to see you unlike the original

The animatronics in general look good


Gameplay and mechanics:

When you start a night you get to walk up the the attraction.

This would be cool as a one-time thing but you do it every single night and sense this game sends you back to the menu every time you die you'll have to go through this first which is tedious.

For night gameplay I'll start with the maintenance panel or the settings monitor as this game calls it.

  • Audio devices: works like in fnaf 3, when you use the audio lure it can cause an error but for some reason, it's random how many times it takes to break, it can even break on just one use right after fixing it which is annoying

  • Camera devices: will randomly break and you won't be able to see the cameras, the only thing to mention here is that it either doesn't break or very rarely breaks past like night 2 which is weird

  • Ventilation: will break either randomly or by a phantom and makes Springtrap faster

  • Cooling system: new to this game, if bonnie spawns in a vent it breaks and your oxygen will start depleting your screen will also get darker, I like this idea it's an error that doesn't need immediate attention, and works more as a limited resource unfortunately it doesn't work when it reaches 0 nothing happens, it also doesn't break randomly but instead by bonnie spawning(more on him later).

  • Fan system: also new to this game, works as a music box but not as demanding when it completely winds down, it moves Springtrap to your front window, whenever it gets low mangle starts making noises and you have to hold the button to charge it, this is interesting it makes you keep coming back to the panel even when nothing is broken and since you don't need to wait for it to get fixed you can charge a little bit and deal with someone else or if you have time charge it all the way, tho most of the time you'll charge it while fixing something else

Now onto the Animatronics

Phantom Freddy:

He will randomly appear at the window in front of you and will walk to the left side, you need to hold the lever in front of you to close the blinds to avoid him, you can either close the blinds for a few seconds and he'll leave or close them right before he leaves, failing to do this will cause him to jumpscare you causing a ventilation error, I like this mechanic a lot Freddy is the most unique out of all the phantoms, the only problem is that when he appears it locks you out of the settings monitor stopping you from fixing something the whole time he's there which is pretty annoying it doesn't even help in balancing since the game gives you plenty of time to deal with him.

Phantom Chica:

She appears in cam 7 if you look at her at all she will jumpscare you when you go to the settings monitor, this mechanic is awful it doesn't matter if you immediately look away she will still jumpscare you.

Phantom Foxy:

pfoxy.png

He works similarly to fnaf 3, when flipping your camera down there's a chance he spawns to your far left, if you look enough to the left he will prevent you from using the settings monitor, and shortly after jumpscare you causing a ventilation error, this is pretty annoying you just have to assume he's gonna be there and not move too fast to the left just in case he's there and if he is, look to the right.

Phantom Bonnie:

pb.png

He will randomly spawn in one of the vent cams when this happens he will cause a cooling system error. if you fix the error he leaves, this is a waste of a mechanic as the dev could have just made the cooling system break randomly, Bonnie's also suppose to be the reason you check the vents as you can no longer close them and Springtrap doesn't use vents, the thing is that you just treat it like a normal error if you see it broken you just fix it making the vents useless.

Phantom Puppet:

pp.png

He randomly spawns in the side of the office you're in, if you look at him for too long he jumpscares you causing a ventilation error, puppet doesn't do anything on his own he only comes into play if another phantom is screwing you over, which makes him both lame and annoying at the same time.

Phantom Mangle:

pm.png

He's the fan system mechanic I mentioned earlier, I don't know why the dev bothered to add phantom bonnie when you could have given that mechanic to Mangle and have the fan system not related to an animatronic you don't even see Mangle in actual gameplay.

Phantom BB:

pbb.png

He works similarly to fnaf 3 but worse, when you flip up your monitor there's a chance he spawns if you look at him for too long he jumpscares you causing a ventilation error, the bad part is that if you change cams or flip down the monitor he doesn't leave he stays there for a random amount of time which can really screw you over with other phantoms and he can cover Springtrap in the cams, even when he jumpscares you he sometimes doesn't leave.

Springtrap:

st.png

He got completely ruined in this game I don't even like fnaf 3 that much but he was still one of the positives of that game, he follows a set path to your office use the audio lure to keep him away from you if he gets to your window he will no longer listen to the audio lure if he jumpscares you you die, in the original Springtrap can move back and forth, he can go into vents, if aggressive is on he can even take faster paths than usual, in this game he is simplified to just move forward and use the audio, this game also doesn't have aggressive, Springtrap is supposed to be the main threat in fnaf 3 and he got butchered so bad in this game, since you no longer close vents you can move him to the corner of the map and he has no other option to attack you the only reason he gets anywhere is because phantoms get spammed.

Another thing to mention is that every phantom(except Bonnie and Mangle) breaks the ventilation so there should be more variety


The nights: nights 1-5 are pretty easy for the most part

But Night 6(nightmare) has to be played a certain way so that the phantoms don't put you in an unfair situation like you have to fix errors before Freddy shows up or else he'll lock you out and let Springtrap get to your window, Even after jumpscaring you he can instantly appear again, bb will just refuse to leave sometimes(even after he jumpscares you) causing puppet to jumpscare you too.

Night 5 has a bug where Springtrap only moves if there's a ventilation error so you can keep fixing it and you'll win

If you beat night 6 and then replay night 5 and beat it it takes away your second star

You can skip nights by pressing 5


How I would change/improve the gameplay:

Audio devices: it takes a minimum of 3 uses to break

Phantom Freddy: Keep his mechanic the same but make him not lock you out of the settings monitor, breaks ventilation.

Phantom Chica: On the arcade, she spawns in it shows a code click on the cameras in the pattern of the code, breaks audio devices. (I would honestly prefer this to be fully changed but here's an idea with what's in the game)

Phantom Foxy: if he shows up in your office use the audio lure in cam 1, breaks the ventilation.

Phantom Bonnie: cooling system now breaks randomly, Bonnie spawns in a random vent you need to stare at him to make him leave, breaks the cooling system, and subtracts 15% from your oxygen(if your oxygen reaches 0 you die).

Phantom Puppet: gives you less time to react but leaves faster, breaks camera devices.

Phantom Mangle: if the fan system winds down he jumpscares you, making springtrap move very fast through like 3 or 2 cams.

Phantom BB: works like fnaf 3, breaks ventilation.

Springtrap: like fnaf 3, including his moving options and going into vents if a vent is closed it will cause the ventilation to break faster and they can be reopened, he can also be lured even when outside your office.

(These are just suggestions in actual gameplay they may be better or worse)


Conclusion:

It game is pretty mediocre and while having a few interesting ideas comes off as uninspired the dev didn't know enough about the source material since while fixing a few things made others way worse and changed things that weren't bad to begin with making the gameplay pretty bland and unfair.

Score: 4/10

I would put I download link here but apparently, it may have a trojan so if you want to play the game you can look for it and download it at your own risk.
